Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roy’s debut novel is a modern classic that has been read and loved worldwide. Equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing political drama, it is the story of an affluent Indian family forever changed by one fateful day in 1969. The seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel see their world shaken irrevokably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin, Sophie. It is an event that will lead to an illicit liaison and tragedies accidental and intentional, exposing “big things [that] lurk unsaid” in a country drifting dangerously toward unrest. Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that started for its author an esteemed career of fiction and political commentary that continues unabated.

故事是动人又细致的,但文字颇有些“诘屈聱牙”的意思,好多处看得人疲惫走神,但错过的地方似乎又毫不影响故事的流淌,不影响它给人带来的细微却深切的震撼。

从文字到故事到叙事结构美到极致,悲悯到极致,愤怒到极致

二刷完毕,惊艳依旧,但更多了几分亲切,我觉得改编成动画片会是个不错的影像呈现方式,因为大量场景出于童心童眼。书中出现过几次Love, Madness, Hope, Infinite joy, 洛伊的新书题目中utmost happiness就是infinite joy嘛

So small, so painful so strange as love as gods

一桩每个人都参与了的谋杀案。作者花了四年写这本书,我也读了整整四年才读完。
